Ankle Joint01:10

Ankle Joint

2.9K
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Microtubule Instability02:17

Microtubule Instability

6.2K
Microtubules are hollow cylindrical filaments having a diameter of approximately 25 nm and a length that varies from 200 nm to 25 μm. GTP-bound tubulin subunits form αβ-heterodimers for microtubule assembly. These core building blocks interact longitudinally, polymerizing into protofilaments. The protofilaments then interact with one another through lateral bonding forces to form stable cylindrical microtubules. These cylindrical filaments are dynamic as they undergo repeated...

Modified Boxplots

10.9K
A standard box and whisker plot informs us about the spread of the data in a given sample. One can identify the minimum value, maximum value, first quartile value, second quartile or median value, and third quartile.
However, the box plot does not tell the reader about outliers - values that lie far from the center of the data. We can modify the standard box and whisker plot to identify the outliers and visualize the actual spread of the data in a sample.
Initially, we calculate the adjusted...

Antiasthma Drugs: Leukotriene Modifiers01:19

Antiasthma Drugs: Leukotriene Modifiers

1.8K
Leukotriene modifiers, or cysteinyl leukotriene receptor antagonists, are medications used to manage chronic asthma. These agents target specific inflammatory mediators produced during arachidonic acid metabolism, an essential process in generating inflammation in the body.
Leukotriene modifiers work through two distinct mechanisms:

Overview of Microscopy Techniques01:22

Overview of Microscopy Techniques

16.3K
The early pioneers of microscopy opened a window into the invisible world of microorganisms. In 1830, Joseph Jackson Lister created an essentially modern light microscope. The 20th century saw the development of microscopes that leveraged nonvisible light, such as fluorescence microscopy that uses an ultraviolet light source and electron microscopy that uses short-wavelength electron beams. These advances significantly improved magnification, image resolution, and contrast. By comparison, the...

Brick Cutting Techniques01:08

Brick Cutting Techniques

637
Brick-cutting techniques involve various tools and methods to shape bricks for construction. A mason's hammer with a chisel-pointed end is used for basic shaping through sharp, precise strikes. For more complex shapes requiring higher precision, a power saw with a water-cooled diamond blade is used.
Cut bricks are categorized by size. Bricks cut to half their original length are called half-bats, while those cut to three-fourths their length are known as three-fourth bats.
Special types of...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Chronic ankle instability frequently follows recurrent ankle sprains.
  • Surgical repair of the lateral ligament complex, augmented by the inferior extensor retinaculum, is a standard treatment when conservative methods fail.
  • Arthroscopic techniques now offer outcomes comparable to open procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a modified arthroscopic technique for lateral ankle ligament reconstruction.
  • To enhance ligamentous repair by increasing the surface area of approximation to the distal fibula.
  • To minimize complications associated with traditional arthroscopic methods.

Main Methods:

  • Arthroscopic visualization and repair of the lateral ankle ligament complex.
  • Modification involves securing the ligaments to the distal fibula over a broader area.
  • Utilizes knotless anchors to eliminate the need for an accessory portal and associated knot-related issues.

Main Results:

  • The modified technique allows for greater ligament contact with the distal fibula.
  • Knotless anchors simplify the procedure and reduce the risk of knot-related complications.
  • This approach aims to provide robust and durable ankle stabilization.

Conclusions:

  • The described modification to arthroscopic ankle stabilization offers a potentially safer and more effective alternative.
  • It facilitates improved ligamentous healing and stability by maximizing the repair surface.
  • This technique may become a valuable option for managing chronic ankle instability.
